The VenenWalker
» basic « from GlobalMIND
®
The comprehensive massage device for the prevention of venous
complaints - at a very low price.
Too much sitting, too much standing, poor nutrition: According to consistent esti-
mates,
% of all Europeans have venous leg complaints and more than half is affected
20
by advanced vein problems. This global lifestyle disease starts off harmlessly with a
tingling sensation in the legs. The legs then become heavy, swollen and tired and spi-
der veins and varicose veins appear. The entire cardiovascular system is in danger and
there is a risk of ulcers, thrombosis, a pulmonary embolism and an inability to work.
How does a venous disorder occur? Veins collect the used blood in the body's tissue
and transport it back to the heart. Leg muscles and venous valves tense up and relax,
thus acting like a pump to transport the blood forwards into the veins. However, if a
person stands or sits for a long time, or if excess strain due to surplus weight leads
to congestion, the blood cannot ow away properly and the venous walls become
overstretched. Swollen legs are the result. The swollen leg forms an oedema due to
the fact that liquid and protein pass through the slackened venous wall and into the
tissue. A doctor should be consulted as a matter of urgency at the latest when such a
venous congestion becomes a continual complaint. Medicines are not able to prevent
the congestion, nor reverse the abnormal slackening of the veins. Surgical stockings
are a tried and tested means of supporting the weakened tissue from the exterior
and preventing swollen legs. However, they should be worn at all times. "Vein walk-
ing", a special type of sport which is very popular in the USA, speci cally stimulates
the circulation in the veins and trains all important muscles. Again, this sport is only
effective if practised consistently.
Special massages using alternating-compression devices have proven to be particu-
larly effective and time-saving in the treatment of venous complaints. The Venen-
Walker
» basic « is the rst ever comprehensively effective massage device which can
®
ef ciently prevent venous complaints - and this at a surprisingly low price.
The VenenWalker

®
cuffs which also cover the entire feet including the soles. The legs are lightly massaged
by the VenenWalker
» basic « using an in ating and de ating air cushion which simu-
®
lates the leg muscle pumping effect experienced during walking exercises. Venous
re ux is improved, collected uid is mobilised and can be ushed out.

®
cialists (phlebotomists), is easy to use and, if used properly, is absolutely safe and
